Et lorsque tu me souris,

le monde entier cesse de tourner.

J’en oublie la parole, 

j’en oublie de respirer,

je ne sais plus qui je suis.

Je ne peux que te contempler.  

And when you smile at me,

the entire world ceases to revolve. 

I forget how to speak,

I forget how to breathe,

I don’t know who I am anymore.

I cannot do anything but gaze at you.

You are still terribly afraid to be hurt; your imaginary sadism shows that. So afraid to be hurt that you want to take the lead and hurt first.

If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it. 

Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books. 

Thank you for your suggestions!
